-Difficulties are divided into two major categories, depending on the respawn type: +Alongside the pre-made difficulties, there is also a "custom" choice that allows you to change any of these settings: 
-  * **Load save**: each time you die, you respawn at your last save. +  * **Respawn type**: 
-  * **Extraction**: each time you die, you respawn at the last bed you slept at.+    * **Load save**: when you die, you load your latest save. 
 +    * **Extraction**: when you die, you can pick a certain number if items you keep. You then respawn at the last bed you slept at. What happens to items you didn't pick is determined by the "Drop remaining loot" setting (see below). 
 +  * **Perma-death**: if enabled, when you die, your save file is wiped. 
 +  * **Replenish loot**: if enabled, most common loot containers will become available for looting again after some time. 
 +  * **Save on level transition**: if enabled, the game will auto-save on any level transition. 
 +  * **Lock save slot**: if disabled, you can save to any slot when sleeping in a bed.
  
-Alongside the pre-made difficulties, there is also a "custom" choice that allows you to change any of the settings mentioned below.+Additionally, the extraction respawn type has these additional settings: 
 +  * **Keep items on death**: the items you can keep on you when you die. As of alpha version 0.14.6, this value can be set to any number between 0 and 10 inclusive. 
 +  * **Fail contracts on death**: if enabled, certain contracts will be considered failed when you die, with some of those even having a penalty. 
 +  * **Lose item slot each death**: if enabled, each time you respawn, the number of items you can keep on death is reduced by one. If it reaches 0 and you die again, your save file is wiped. 
 +  * **Drop remaining loot**: if enabled, items you don't keep can be found in a backpack where you died, else they're lost forever. If you die again before reaching a dropped backpack, its content are lost forever. 
 + 
 +The following tables list the premade difficulties in the game as of alpha version 0.14.6. As all of them have the "Save on level transition" setting enabled in that version, it won't be shown as a column.
